THE
STAGE-DRIVER'SSTORY.

In '67 Jake Pool was staging the route
from Gallatin to Helena, in Montana, driv-
ing a four-horse coach in summer and a
'jerky" in winter, seventy miles a day
through the widest region and over one
Of the most dangerous routes in the Unit
ed States. The country through which
his trail ran-for it was was little else
than trail-was totally uninhabited,
but for three stage stations where horses
were changed, and which were dug-outs,
or log -huts, twenty miles apart. The In
dams, though generally friendly. were Ii
able to become enemies at moments
warning; road agents and outlaws were
thicker upon the Gallatin route than any
other north of the Union Pacific Railroad,
and the route itself ran through gullies
and canons, and along the verge Of dizzy
precipices, as though originally laid out
by mountain sheep. Notwithstanding all
this Jake was a successful driver, made
better time, lost fewer mails and express
safes, and ran his coach at smaller ex-
pense to the company than any other man
in their employ. But when misfortune
did overtake him, it was no light hand
that the genius of evil laid upon him,
which the following adventure goes to
prove:
One muggy morning in early May as
Jake hauled up in front Of the stage Office
and prepared to receive mails, express
and messenger, and passengers, if any
there should be for Helena, the Wells,
Fargo agent called to him from within
Throwing the reins over the toot-brake,
Pool descended from his perch and entered
the Office.
The agent shut the door behind him )
then, drawing near, he said, in a half
whisper:
"There's fifteen Thousand in currency
IN the safe to take over to-day"
"All rightp responded Jake. "Tve
carried more before now, and carried it
safely"
"But," said the agent, drawing still
nearer, Dicks sick, and there's no mes
aanRer." --...

THE ROAD TO SMOKY.
1t Will Probably be Open for Teams In
About one Month.

Zach. Hays came in yesterday from
his ranch on the Smoky road, about
two miles this side OF the upper cross
ing Of Willow creek. He left home
about half-past Z o'clock in the morn
ing and reached HALEY in about eight
hours. He states that people have
been going and coming from Smoky
on snowshoes all winter, and that
travel was interrupted only in stormy
weather. The mail carrier has some
times been day or two late with the
mail to and from the Carrie Leonard,
bus he probably did not fail to
make his one trip per week. The
road between Hays's and Beeton's
will be broken next week, and two or
three weeks later light rigs can prob
ably get over the summit into Smoky.
This is the worst part of the road, as
in Smoky and along Willow creek a
good team could make the trip now.
